Yoshi's Island is a stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This time, it is based on the design of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (which is also used in Yoshi's Island DS and Yoshi Touch & Go). It has a horizontal design, with two main platforms. The top one tilts during play. There is a ghost, called the Support Ghost, who appears and disappears at random, creating a temporary platform that can save recovering characters. The stage will also change between the four seasons during the match. This stage could be considered the "spiritual successor" to Yoshi's Island: Yoshi's Story from Melee, because they both have walls going to the bottom of the stage, they both have attackable Shy Guys that fly in with Food items and because of the Support Ghost's similarity to Randall the Cloud.

Seasons

When the match begins, the season that players start on is entirely random. The changes that the seasons make to the stage are merely aesthetic - they do not affect the gameplay in any way.

• Spring: Scenery here distinctly resembles the pastel-drawn backgrounds of the Overworld stages in Yoshi's Island. Chain Chomps can be seen on both sides of the stage.
• Summer: Flowers sprout everywhere with the coming of summer. They are designed much like the flowers Yoshi can collect to increase the overall score in his games.
• Autumn: Fall colors take over and stationary Goonies appear, hovering in the sky with a four-frame animation.
• Winter: Heavy snowfall is this season's main addition to the graphics. Like most weather effects in SSBB, the snow is not rendered in 3D. Pausing and angling the camera will reveal that it is only two-dimensional.

Bolded songs must be unlocked

• There is an extra song that can play in this stage. The "Obstacle Course" that is listed in My Music and in the Sound Test is the variation that plays in the spring and summer seasons. There is another variation that plays during autumn and winter, but for some reason it is not available in the Sound Test, though it is available in the OST rip.

Trivia

• While using Captain Olimar's Final Smash, End of Day, a drawing of a moon can be seen in the sky. This moon was the location of the battle against world 5 boss Raphael the Raven in Yoshi's Island.
• This is the third stage in the series that has acquired the name "Yoshi's Island". Humorously, they have all been based off of different games.
